What has wrought the change in the
climate of eastern Colorado and western
Kansas: That question cannot he aCCu-
rately answered The winds blow from
the same direction they formerly did but
they are not siruCCo like. The rain storms
come from the west generally, and in the
past the west wind was dry wind. In my
opinion the change is due to the extensive
irrigation Of the land lying along the east
ern base of the Rocky mountains. Great
rivers, which head III the perpetual snow
banks Of those mighty ranges, have been
turned into irrigation bitches, and the
water which formerly ran wastefully to
the Gulf Of Mexico has been turned on 10
the arid plains. There il sOaks into the
soil. The wind sweeping over the land
sucks up a large portion of IT, There il
moisture in the air, and il is precipitated
as rain on the plaius of eastern Colorado
and western Kansas. So extensively is
irrigation practiCcd in Colorado that almost
all the water was taken out of the South
Platte river last year Fifty miles east
ward from Denver the stream was a tiny
Till. As il il with the South Platte SO it
is with less important streams, and SO il
soon will be with streams of larger volume.
The day when the Arkansas river will be
turned on 10 the plains. every inch of it, is
plainly in sight;
The system Of irrigation which has been
applied TO the land lying along the eastern
base Of the Rocky mountains is now being
applied TO the western slope and to the
arid basin lying between the Rocky noun
taIns and the Sierra Nevada range. In
few years the water which now flows
wastefully into the Colorado and the Co
lumbia will be taken from the branches of
those large streams and used TO irrigate
arid land. II is highly probable that the
climate nf the whole Rocky mountain
region will I've changed in the near future,
and changed by the irrigation of the land
lying we>t Of ii. More rain will fall in
the highlands during the summer. The
streams which drain the eastern slopes
will remain full longer. More wafer will
be expended on the plains. and more rain
will fall in Colorado and eastern Kansas.
The arid zone will practically disappear.

among their employees, each man sharing
i'm proportion TO his per cent. Of the salary
list, and the Herald announces that II the
experiment proves successful, 1t hopes TO
adopt profit sharing as a permanent sys-
tenn.
The Springfield Mass Republican, in
noticing this movement on the part of the
Herald, speaks of an experiment in the
same line begun year ago at the great
granite quarries at Westerly, Rhode Island.
The books for the year (the Republican

II is not yet known what amount is
to be divided. but it will be no small
amount, for the concern has been very
prosperous. for many years. Mr.. James g.
PATTERSON. OF Hartford, president of the
company, says that the system was adopted
to avoid strikes and friction with the men,
and that in that respect the experiment has
proved highly successful. The men were
suspicious of 1t at first, but soon took hold
and worked hNmODi0usly and efficiently,
and he expects profit TO divide. The
Westerly experiment was begun. the Re

provisions against clsshng. including the
liberty of inspecting the books by COM

the largest proft-sharing business in the
country, except the big PilIsbury four

ALL MEDICAL AUTHORITIES agree that
catarrh is no more nor less than All infiam-
nation of the lining membrane of the nasal
air passages. Nasal catarrh and all
catarrhal affections of the head are not di-
seases of the blood. and it is serious mis-
take to treat them as such. No conscien-
tious physician ever attempts 20 do so. 1t
is held by eminent medical men that sooner

Woman and Temperance.

Rev. Louis A. Bangs of Boston de-
livered an address Sunday afternoon in
the Free Baptist church on "Woman
and the temperance movement" be-
fore fair audience. The address con-
tanned many pathetic stories, illustra-
lions of the terrible work wrought by
rum. Special reference was made to
the work woman has done and may do
to help on the temperance cause.
Woman's suffrage was urged as the one
thing more likely to be productive of
good results at this juncture, and the
experience in Washington Territory
where women had been granted the
ballot, was cited to strengthen the
speakers position. Unqualified praise
was bestowed upon the Woman's
Christian Temperance unions of the
land as the most effective temperance
organization yet formed.

Hovey suggested that nearly 500 for
dinner tickets was one of the leaks.
On motion of Ed. Hovey it was voted
that the society recommend to the ag-
ricultural society that it hold the fair
only two days; this with the trotting
day making three days. fair. On mo-
ton of Judge Hovey it was voted that
no more dinner tickets be given out.
On motion a committee was appoint
ed to nominate officers. Asa Living
ston called for a stock vote and it was
finally decided to vote by ballot. There
were 81 votes cast with the following
result:
Directors Horace Fairbanks, E. A.
Parks, A. S. Livingston, VIM. r. Fair
banks, n. M. Johnson, j. @. HOvey,
VIM. Higgins, Elmore Ide, c. A. Syl-
vester, VIM. Adams, L. B. Harris.
President, Ezra A. Parks.
Vice president, Asa S. Livingstoe.
Sec Treas, William Higgins.
Auditors, Dennis May Ed. Ia -Hovey,
It. C. Fletcher.
After the election was declared there
was further talk about retrenchment.
Judge Hovey wanted to know how
many complimentary tickets were is
sued 4? Answer, 500. Then he wanted
to know how many tickets were given
to stockholders for their families, but
nobody could tell. Then he moved
that the presidents salary be reduced
to $50, and he was ready to do the
work, if elected to that position, for
that sum and board himself. Some one
suggested that Parks at $75 would be
cheaper than Hovey at $50 with the
boarding proviso.
w. E. Peck supposed the fair was
got up partly to bring the families of
the county together. He opposed cut
ting down premiums, and favored a
liberal policy. l.. B. Harris did not
understand that it was money-mak-
ing affair and thought $50 all the So
ciety ought to lay aside. Judge Parks
then spoke at some length, reviewing
his connection with the organization
and its history. Others might have
served better than he and if it was de-
sired that he retire he would do so. L..
B. Harris said that the society at Bur-
lingtOn had adopted a mean policy and
alienated the Burlington people. E.
A. Walker thought the matter had
haitian ha loft with the avacutiva com =
mittee and it was so left.
